I have been working on a story about carbon capture for like three months because I keep thinking "it cannot possibly be THIS much of an absolute shit show" and figuring I must be missing something or misunderstanding something and then every new expert I talk to tells me it's even worse

fascism is "on our doorstep" because Democrats move to the right whether they win or lose, and it is their rightward movement which enables fascism if they had been moving left, we wouldn't be in this situation

even the most ardent Democrat supporters know that Biden is not a good candidate, and that he might even lose the election but i think some of them are reluctant to admit that people to their left were correct about this for years, because then what else might these leftists be correct about?

One thing that keeps crossing my mind when I read about well-funded, organized, years-in-development plans like Project 2025 is, why donโt Democrats have an equivalent? Why are they not crucially pursuing a specific, crucial, transformative agenda in this manner? Seems like a problem.

Today is also the 20th anniversary of the International Court of Justice ruling that Israel's apartheid wall illegal. More than 85% of that segregationist and racial supremacist wall stands in occupied Palestinian territory. It should frankly be blown the hell up.

Again the best to prevent fascism is a robust social safety net, strong wages and active government efforts to help the poor. Neoliberalism and austerity carve away at this, leaving fascism able to grow.

I notice your criticism of "optics" is reserved only for Palestinians, not for those who decided to use a house of worship to host a for-profit event by a company who sells Palestinian land in violation of international law - in the midst of a brutal ethnic cleansing. THAT is bad optics.

Joe Biden has helped murder 180,000, permanently traumatized every person in Gaza, inflicted a mass disabling famine, destroyed 70% of all buildings in Gaza, rendered the entire area unlivable for the foreseeable future (estimated to take 40-80 years to rebuild), and all the time justified it.

He continues to cast doubt on the extremely conservative numbers from the Gaza health Ministry, which only include identified bodies, even as the prominent medical journal the Lancet published an estimate that 180,000 people have been killed in Gaza. 8% of all people in Gaza, murdered.

What part of the last 9 months makes you think Biden is trying to stop the genocide? Instead of forcing Israel to open the borders to aid, he denied they are blocking aid at all. He spent 230 million on a pier which provided enough food for half a day after 3 months of planning and construction.

Instead of stopping arms shipments he continues to provide them no matter how many children are torn to pieces or burned alive by them. He continues to lie about seeing atrocities that conclusively never happened, to justify the genocide. He refuses to acknowledge Palestinian self determination.

If one man actively supports evil while the other man stays silent but lets the evil continue, there is zero difference in the amount of evil committed. But hey, Biden is still funding this horror so actually, he *is* giving it full support. Go yell at the Democrats, do some good.

You speak as if you can safely assume that by January 2025, if Israel continues to bomb and terrorize at its current US-funded pace, there will even be Palestinians alive in Gaza for Trump to further annihilate. You speak as if Biden has ever said heโll change his stance if he wins in November.

This French election shows that many people are willing to reject the far right when a genuine leftist alternative is presented to them. Unfortunately, centrists never present a genuine leftist alternative, they shift to the right whenever far right politicians start rising in the polls.
